Guys, will you be so kind as to fuck off with your thinly veiled, retarded and baseless accusations?

the ignore button is a possibility...
sorry for quoting myself. i wish someone of the mods / or someone else reliable make a list of users a real bitcoin fan can 'ignore' without any research on his history. a list of just the hardest, 50 or 100 trolls would this board really make clean ! At the very least a "sticky" so people can just go through the list and hit ignore  |

I think even some of the haters believe but just try to drive down the price while they secretly invest. For the other haters, they are just ignorant/sociopathic trolls disrupting innovation. And then there the anti-shills/false flag types sent here to disrupt the evolution and propagation of the Bitcoin movement. For the believers, it's easy to see Bitcoin will prevail in the long run. It's logical to see how its benefits will eventually win the hearts and minds of the people. Just keep your head up, do everything you can to understand Bitcoin, and promote it with every chance you get. And you don't have to promote any investment into Bitcoin either... It's a dirty topic that gives most people a negative feeling. For people who produce useful services, it's easy to simply accept Bitcoin as payment and then there's a little less risk for them to get involved - yet still enticing with all the benefits that can be had. This should be encouraged because it will build the user base until their trust and education can be built. Eventually the "Packers" will be exposed to more people that accept Bitcoin and feel more comfortable about using it. Bitcoin will succeed on grass roots promotion and infrastructure development. BTW, Bitcoin can absolutely be anonymous. Tuxavant - I think you could be on to something. Disinformation to better their own needs or cause or out of pure entertainment. I think the infrastructure is still being built and we haven't seen the full fruit of everyones labor just yet. I think the only thing that is shocking is that fact. |

what i dont understand is that people mock agains us HERE in bitcointalk.org
no problem, you dont have to be a fan. go somewhere else, dont troll us.
it is like some mentally unbalanced men, standing somewhere in the middle of the traffic with a plate 'the end is near'.
they just disturb. absolutely nothing more.
Klaus - I agree. I think the trolls were here for "other reasons" and it really was uncalled for. Just look at my history of posts and you'll see the battles I've had with them  |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_CaveWe're just trying to prevent more victims. I know no one wants to admit it now, but some of you have spent tens of thousands of dollars on hardware to "mine" bitcoins. There are people who bought into the idea of bitcoins @ $28 each, then bought more at every step downward. Those people are victims who were led astray by this community. Because there aren't enough people here who are willing to call out the bullshit. But more to the OP, what can I buy with bitcoins that I cannot buy with paypal? Ok, drugs from Silk Road. What else? I hear what your saying in regards to people investing hard earned money only to be left with nothing but the trolls were doing more then that in my opinion. As for your question regarding buying with Bitcoins vs Paypal I don't think anyone is making the case one is better then the other just the fact we can have a decentralized system for making payments. I mean look at wikileaks and how they have come to a complete halt due to Visa/MasterCard/ Paypal and everyone else cutting off their access to funds. |

Could also print out simple folded up cards with info about bitcoin, and throw it in with the Halloween candy. Parents and older siblings, at least from my experience, always get a good look at a kids candy plunder, who would be a good target audience. Working on a simple design right now myself for just that.
So brillant  Do post here when you are done I will do the same tonight when I hand out "bitcoin candy" |

I mean isn't the Myths deterring this kind of talk? https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/MythsI think its time to get our house in order with some good PR work. Maybe even hire a firm? This is getting ridiculous . I mean grant it Bitcoin isn't perfect but some of this stuff is just flat out wrong. Anyone rejecting bitcoins isn't going to bother with the myths page; their mind is already made up on it. And no need to hire a PR firm when letting friends and others know about it is free. I hear what you are saying. We can't be the first technology to have to "convince people of what we aren't" but if it's just starting with your friends then I suppose this is a good start and yes it is free. |

I've just spent the past 2 hours reading back articles on bitcoin and new articles going forward and the comments on them. I don't get why people are so anti-bitcoin? edit: I should add that the same comments back a few months show up even today ? haven't we gotten past this? Some quotes on it:================================= "If you can't spend it, it's not worth anything. I can have a car "worth" $50,000, but if no one wants it, it might as well be worth zero. You can give up and down percentages all you want, but it's not being used for hard goods and services.Today, I bought a tank of gas, lunch, and a $400 plane ticket. None accepted, or will ever accept, bitcoin""its like an eve online scam without the subscription fee.""Bitcoin is *not* anonymous. At least not in the way that that implies. Specifically *all* transactions in the world are totally public and traceable by anyone. Pretty much the only anonymous thing is that you don't have to give use your real name as your bitcoin ID. But if someone finds out your bitcoin ID (e.g. if you use an exchange) they can then see your entire transaction history! It is far from the anonymity of cash.""I'm shocked, shocked that a bizarre nerd currency doesn't work in the real world!""I don't consider myself to be overly stupid, but Bitcoins confuse the crap out of me."================================== I mean isn't the Myths deterring this kind of talk? https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/MythsI think its time to get our house in order with some good PR work. Maybe even hire a firm ? This is getting ridiculous . I mean grant it Bitcoin isn't perfect but some of this stuff is just flat out wrong. What are we doing wrong as a community? and I think we really need to have a honest discussion about all this |

At least it's being mentioned .... "The fights over financing are as varied as the protesters' reasons for protesting. Should the library buy the cheapest tables available or more sturdy, durable ones? Should the funds be spent on infrastructure in Manhattan or to help Occupy movements across the U.S.? Should all the money be converted to an alternative currency like Bitcoin?"source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/24/occupy-wall-street-money-donated-tension_n_1029377.html |

Sgt Spike I like your thinking a lot. In other words, it sort of holds their hand and shows them how that 1 free bitcoin could be spent instead of just giving it to them for free. More of education on how bitcoin works. Actually, what if a bitcoin related company could sponsor this and have his or her own landing page on how to spend it. In some ways, it would come full circle as the person might just spend it back to the sponsors website and we hopefully have gained a new bitcoin fan. example: https://www.casascius.com/freebitcoins |

I was thinking the other day maybe if we set up a bitcoin fund to buy t-shirts and pay people in bitcoins to wear those t-shirts around their college / town etc., that maybe that is the sort of exposure we need- I was thinking we could target noobies to wear them since they are seeking their first bitcoins and trying to become part of the bitcoin community. Just throwing this out there. All in the spirit of like http://www.iwearyourshirt.com/ but obviously bitcoins only. |

Great idea I'm in! I would like to add there is a website called http://www.unofficialbtc.com/ maybe they would like to be the "hub" for this just a thought. |
